Love love stylist Elspeth!! My girls wanted to get her bangs..just bangs and a little off the size. Ran into Elspeth a few weeks before when I was walking around in Fairhaven and spoke to her about what they wanted. Got an amazing quote on the cost and it was like "yes please sign us up!" A few weeks later we cane and the whole experience was beyond my expectation. Elspeth was super sweet and patience in regards to my girls and truly made their first coloring in a salon memorable. Thank you and you got three more a clients for life! read more

Dre is SO good! She renews my hair tinsel every few months for an unbelievably reasonable price, and gives my husband a haircut that leaves him looking just adorable. And handsome! The artwork on the walls is always fascinating. Hair Art is an extremely cool place to go! read more

I stumbled upon this hair studio as I was walking downtown in late 2013. I had recently moved from Hawaii where I couldn't find a decent stylist who knew how to deal with my haole hair (fine and blond), so I was in desperate need of a good cut and color. I was fortunate to be seen by the owner Dre on a walk-in basis. She was very friendly, spent time getting to know me and what I wanted done with my hair, and then delivered great results. I liked it so much, I even took a picture afterwards and used it as my Yelp profile picture for several months (but I have since changed my profile picture). There is metered street parking out front. The studio has beautiful wood floors and big picture windows letting in lots of natural light. Dre has also partnered with other local artists to display their creations in her space. A variety of paintings and photographs for sale adorn the walls, and there are jewelry turn styles with interesting accessories that you can also check out while your hair is being cared for. They accept all credit cards, including AMEX, which is not often the case with small businesses. Businesses only get reviews from me after I have visited a place at least twice and have received consistent service. I eventually made it back to The Hair Studio in March 2014. I was delighted and surprised that Dre, the owner actually remembered me from fall 2013 since it had been so many months since I had visited. If you are interested in supporting a friendly, locally-owned business with great hair results, book an appointment here. read more

Called the morning of for a men's haircut, got one for the afternoon. Was my first haircut in a while and it turned out really good! The price was great and it happened really fast. The hairstylist was nice as well. read more

Tanith was incredible with my two girls! Super sweet, helpful, and great with kids (8 and 2 years old). Thank you for a wonderful and memorable morning for both my girls! read more

I don't remember the name of who cut my hair but it was clear that she wasn't very passionate or interested in her job. The business didn't even have a receptionist so she had to leave during my cut several times. The biggest thing I noticed was that absolutely none of the tools were being sanitized. I gave her several very clear photos of my hair, and how I wanted it, and honestly it's nothing like the photos. At first I thought it was great but now that I am home it's about half the length I wanted it to be. Not only that, but I watched her do everything my hair stylist in Seattle said was a beginner mistake and that would make the haircut grow out horribly. My guess is maybe she is newer to the job and that is okay. A lot of these issues seem to lie with the management. Workers seemed over stressed, responsible for too many things. Perhaps aren't provided with proper sanitizing tools. Don't have the time to keep their spaces clean etc. I would definitely have been willing to pay $30 for the haircut if it had many of these issues had been addressed. Even just hiring receptionist to always be there would make a world of a difference. Higher cleaning standards. When you stretch your employees too thin, they lose their passion. My two stars are largely due to the lack of sanitization. It was not a clean place. You guys are gonna give someone a head infection and catch a lawsuit one of these days. Again, I really think this would be the fault of management. I think the woman who did my hair did her absolute best given the circumstances. read more

Newbie here and thought I would check this place out after being recommended. Stopped in yesterday but they were slammed so made an appt for today. Got there on time, appt started on time and had a fantastic experience with Dre. Showed her a picture of what I wanted and discussed length etc etc and she nailed it! Price was a bonus! Will definitely be back. read more

I asked for a straight cut about two inches below my jaw line. Instead I got a totally botched cut at my chin line. It's uneven, I have strands of hair that are like an inch longer just hanging out, and like look like Prince ducking Valiant. I believe the blonde woman Dre who cut my hair is the owner too. I showed a picture where the cut was clearly below the jaw not at it. And she didn't even look at the pictures I had. I said multiple times I need to put my hair back in a pony, the last time I said that, she asked "why" as if were any of her business. I can't put my curly now unevenly botched of a hair cut back in a pony in order to hide this hot mess, to workout, or because I just fucking feel like it. How shitty. I am so disappointed. read more

My haircut went so well, my stylist was kind and talented and I can't believe the quality for their prices! I can't wait to come back

I took my son in for a haircut and this was definitely the worst haircut he's ever had. I'm not sure what happened exactly but he ended up with white walls above his ears and a "helmet" for a haircut. Even my husband asked me "what the hell happened to his hair?" when we got home. The woman who cut his hair most definitely needs more training in little boys haircuts. I wish I hadn't gone there. I included his before pic and after pics. read more

If you love fashion colors come here! The stylists are all amazing! The photo does not do the colors justice, this was done using Joyco fashion colors and sparkly hair tinsel. The tinsel sparkles in the light and the colors are amazing in person! read more

I had another great experience with Dre last weekend. She nailed the cut and the color is fab. We're in the process of taking my hair to an ash blonde ombré, from my previous reddish brown. Not all the red lifted out but we are WELL on our way! I have extremely thick hair and Dre was a trooper! I feel so comfortable and welcome in your studio. Thank you for your hard work! read more

The Hair Art Studio - Before & After. Thanks Dre! - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I have been coming here for a year now and I love working with Sam. I have very thin, falling, weak hair and was really afraid to die, much less bleach it. I was afraid to let anyone touch my hair because of how fragile it was and because of past terrible experiences. But Sam has been awesome at taking care of my hair, taking it to blonde and now to purple!! I really appreciate how she's always honest, she's always very knowledgeable and knows what to do to get me what I want, and she's always there to teach me how to care for my hair like no one else before. Aside from taking care of my hair and having awesome staff, the vibe of the place is sick. I love how they have diff wall art every month and showcase talents. read more

The Hair Art Studio - Thank you Sam for my purple hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I have had my hair cut here twice, now, and both times I have not been too happy with the result. The hair dressers this time around were far more welcoming than my first experience when they fought with each other and passively argued about the way one of them was bleaching someone's hair. The hair cuts are cheap here, but I am not a huge fan of the atmosphere. I could tell that they were fitting me in between two other appointments and my session felt rushed and not fully catered to. read more

It was both my daughters very first haircut this morning, my eldest being 5 1/2 and the other 4. And I would like to say that I am so happy and pleased with the results. Danielle was our hairstylist and she did an incredible job! She gave me some pointers too. The Hair Art Studio is the place we will keep on going. Very pleasant environment with good energy. So I would like to give a big Thank You for Danielle! (Phew we chose the right place)! read more

Haircuts are inexpensive and okay; however they always seem to be running late. Today I had a scheduled appointment and when I walked in the hairdresser said there were three cuts in front of me. Similar situations have happened the last three out of four times I've shown up for scheduled appointments. Disappointed. read more

Most people would think that Dre has built an amazing hair salon, however truth be told she has built a community and a network for mere mortals and artists to feel comfortable at the salon. I have been going there for 4 years and trust her and her staff for any of my hair and beauty needs. Her collaboration with local artists is what Bellingham is all about! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place! I called on a whim to see if I can go from dark brunette to a blombre with pink tips. I called at 3 and they got me on at 4. We rescheduled for the color the next morning (because I showed up late). My stylists name was Elsbeth (Ellie) and she was very nice, professional and she made me feel comfortable. I was nervous about such a drastic change and she reassured me. Love my hair and it was such a reasonable price! 85 for the cut and color!!! I will definitely be back! read more

I'm from out of town and came here on a weekend visit based on the advice of my friend. It turned out to be the best hair experience I have had in years! Miranda gave me the blonde hair of my dreams at a very reasonable price. I had a poor experience prior to this at a very expensive salon. Miranda fixed my hair and made me look fabulous at a reasonable price. I will definitely be planning my visits to B'ham around Miranda's availability in the future! read more

Last September I had the absolutely worst haircut of my life by an older blonde lady. She was very nice but didn't know what she was doing. I have curly hair and she left it uneven, choppy and horrible. read more

Been to several salons around town now and have had decent experiences. Tried them out for the first time and received a fast and horrible haircut and color here. Went in on the weekend, it was not very busy in there, no need for the rush from the stylist. Sloppy job, should have realized since she looked like she just woke up out of bed. Won't ever go back. read more

I called when they opened on a Monday and was able to get a same day appointment with Dre for a haircut and eyebrow wax. She was very thorough with my eyebrows, which I appreciated since I have paid much more for waxing at other salons and have still had to trim the length and pluck strays when I get home. The haircut turned out great! I have the bottom half of my head shaved and I asked for a short bob (just below my ears). Dre did exactly what I asked and quickly, too! I had never been here before, I paid about $30 total for both services, and I will never go to another salon in Bellingham again. Tip them well! read more

Called in extremely last minute on a Sunday and the salon made time to see me that evening. I felt so welcomed and taken care of. The environment of the salon was well lit and filled with art. Daniella fixed up a haircut I had gotten from donating my hair. She was friendly and easy to talk too. She went the extra mile to make sure I like my hair and customized the cut to my hair thickness. I will be going back here for my next cut. read more

First time going here and i LOVE this place. Miranda layered my hair and gave me some purple panels. She gave me exactly what i wanted and was so attentive and kind, ALSO while her new born was there and her baby is sweet and quiet. A lot of people came in and Miranda was attentive to everyone without neglecting any of the work she was doing with me. Awesome Halloween decor and all the ladies that work there are just badasses. I will only go to this salon :) very experienced stylists, down to earth and very well priced. I live in my car and my hair price was great, considering how little money i have and how phenomenal and job she did on my hair. Actually better than other salons i payed more at. Thanks again Miranda :) read more

Elspeth is awesome! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, helped my eyebrows and has just recently cut and dyed my hair!

I highly recommend her for whatever your needs may be! read more

I've had great haircuts from several of the stylists at Hair Art Studio! I also highly recommend Elspeth for hair and makeup - she did mine for my wedding, and it was gorgeous and perfect. I was picky and nervous, and she worked with me, was flexible, and it turned out wonderfully. read more

Being new to town, I decided to go here based on Yelp reviews and I was not disappointed! They take walk ins but I called ahead of time to make an appointment and they got me in early the next day. I was running a little late and had an awful time finding parking but they were totally understanding which I appreciate. The place feels really cozy and cute, which was a nice change from most salons I've been to. My goal was to go from my previous blonde balayage back to my natural brown, and Sophia absolutely nailed it. We discussed color options for a minute and then got right to it. I had a wonderful time chatting with her and all of the ladies were very nice and accommodating for if you wanted to get up and stretch or anything like that. From beginning to end the appointment was amazing and my hair turned out exactly the way I had envisioned (which is rare). If you're looking for somewhere local, affordable, and friendly then look no further! read more

I'm a student from the Seattle area, so I needed to find a good place in Bellingham that wouldn't break the bank. This place is perfect! Amazing prices, great service, and really friendly people.

I know nothing about hair and she totally was able to translate my terrible explanations into a cool new style. read more

Dré does a great job! I bounce around depending on where I am when I feel the need for a haircut, and this is one of my "go-to" places. I am pretty simple in my style, and I have yet to be disappointed. Decent cut for a decent price. Funky vibe, with a rotating art show on the walls. read more

I've always had healthy hair. I decided it was time to go back to my natural blonde hair color from brown and I was expecting maybe a little bit of bleach to be involved in the process but mainly highlights to start me off. Instead, the woman who was dying my hair did God knows what to it. Over and over different types of bleach AND I was there for four hours. After my time there, my hair multiple colors. Dirty blonde, to brown, to orange, to red. Tomato red. Over the past six months, I've gotten it corrected a few times but my hair still isn't at the same health it used to be :( And the color is still not where I want it to be. Never ever going there again. read more

Amazing! I got a men's haircut today, and I absolutely love it. Even though I came in not knowing exactly what I wanted, she was able to do an amazing job! Would recommend to those looking for a well priced and amazing haircut! read more
